"When I talked to John (Schneider) they told me they want me here," Irvin said. "He's a man of his word, so that stuff will take care of itself." Irvin denies wanting to leave for Atlanta after the Seahawks declined his fifth-year option. With extensions for Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner higher priorities, Irvin remains a candidate to hit the open market next offseason. Jun 20 - 9:24 PM

Speaking at his football camp on Saturday, Seahawks SLB Bruce Irvin said he would "love to be in Seattle."

Irvin wasn't thrilled when the Seahawks declined his fifth-year option, but it sounds like he's slowly realized Seattle is the best fit for him. "[Seattle] was the team that gave me a chance when nobody else did," Irvin said. "A lot of people told me I wasn't a first-round pick, but Pete (Carroll) and John Schneider took a chance on me, so like I said I would love to be there, but I'm just going to go out here, I've been working my butt off, I'm going to go out here and have the biggest year of my career." Irvin will hit free agency next offseason. There are already rumors he'll be pursued by his hometown Atlanta Falcons. Jun 7 - 8:58 AM

Seahawks SLB Bruce Irvin was absent from the start of OTAs on Tuesday.

The contract-year linebacker is furious that the Seahawks declined his fifth-year team option, but coach Pete Carroll has claimed there's no acrimony. This would suggest otherwise. Either way, Irvin's absence will only be notable if it extends to next month's mandatory minicamp. May 26 - 4:19 PM

Although Turbin sat out the entire offseason program, he was always expected to be ready for training camp. It's unclear if Blount is reporting new information or simply expressing concern due to the missed OTA time. Turbin, the heavy favorite for passing-down snaps behind Marshawn Lynch, is entering a contract year. If Turbin's health is truly a concern, whispers of Christine Michael losing his roster spot won't amount to much.

Although coach Pete Carroll stated in the middle of the month that Richardson could return "early in training camp," the 2014 second-round pick's knee injury was known to be severe, and was suffered in January. Richardson is unlikely to be a factor for the Seahawks early in his sophomore NFL year. Richardson is a prime candidate to stay on the reserve/PUP list into the season.
